Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂₁H₁₆BrN₃O₄)]·CH₃OH, the Cu^II ion is coordinated by two N [Cu-N = 1.814 (3) and 1.917 (3) Å] and two O [Cu-O = 1.805 (3) and 1.893 (3) Å] atoms from the tetradentate Schiff base ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, the approximately planar Cu complex molecules are paired into centrosymmetric dimers with short intermolecular CuN distances of 3.162 (3) Å. Weak O---H...O hydrogen bonds may help to stabilize the structure.
